I have a special interest in supporting people who are struggling with anxiety, OCD, or perfectionism. I also work with people who want to explore how their identity fits, especially when culture, gender, or relationships are part of the mix.
As a Mandarin-speaking East Asian therapist, I know what it’s like to move between cultures, juggle family expectations, and wonder where you belong. I also enjoy working with clients who think deeply but feel emotionally stuck—people who want to move from insight to real change.
Therapy with me will be collaborative and flexible. I won’t try to fit you into a rigid model. Instead, I’ll get to know what matters most to you and together we will customize therapy so it works best for you. Here are the main therapeutic approaches that we can build on:
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT): A practical approach to help you deal with unhelpful thoughts and feelings, and make positive changes. This includes Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), the gold-standard treatment for OCD.
Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT): Are you overwhelmed, confused, or blocked by your emotions? We can use EFT to help you understand your feelings, feel secure, and get along better with others.
Mindfulness-Based Interventions: Mindfulness can help you be kinder to yourself and be more present in your life. I can teach you easy steps that will make a difference.
Psychodynamic Therapy: You can learn to overcome the effects of past relationships by examining your early experiences.
I am here to help you feel safe, respected, and understood. Whatever you’re carrying, we can look at it together.
